neers of this city, died of consumption
at his residence, on East Mulberry street.
at $50 last evening. He had been III
failing health for nearly year past, but
his death. coming Unexpectedly at last,
created a sensation here. Mr.. ThOmp-
son was born in st. Lawrence county,
n. Y. in 1879, and at fourteen years OF
age began the study OF law, beng ad-
mitted in 1919 to the supreme court or
that state He came TO saltwater III
1852, where he entered into the practice
of law. in which he has actively contln-
ued until few months since. He was
regarded as a good lawyer, and has
served a number of years as county at
tOrney, Politically he was Staunch
Democrat. and has been more or less
prominently identified with the history
of that party in this state. He was OF
kindly disposition, had many warm
friends. and as few enemies as man
who leads an active business life usually
has. Mr.. Thompson leaves wife, one
son and two daughters, all grown, one
of the latter being Mrs. John Conrad.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT.
The November term of the district
court convened at the court room at 10
a. IN, Yesterday. Judge f. NJ. Crosby on
the bench. The roll of the grand jury
was called and the members duly
sworn. after which they were charged
by the Judge in the usual form and re-
paired TO the jury room for the transac-
ton of such business as should come be-
them. Andrew Peterson being appointed
foreman. The court then proceeded
with the call of the calendar, four cases
being settled and stricken from the cal
endar and one placed upon it. The civil
cases to be disposed of the present term
number nearly 100, but. as usual, many
of them will be disposed of without COM
ing to trial. What the criminal calen-
dar will contain depends, of course,
upon the work of the grand jury. There
are at present two prisoners at the
county Jail whose cases will come be-
fore that body for consideration. One
OF them, Tom King, went through
Eadley's barber shop last summer
and carried off quantity of ton
serial apparatus and will probably be in
dicted and the other, Jim Green, who is
charged with having robbed comrade
one night while in a carriage, will prob
ably share the same fate. There are
two other cases of Importance, one of
which is that of j. +. ROney, charged
with having attempted an assault upon
his young daughter, some eleven years
old. and the other that of Warden StOr-
dock. which was under consideration
last evening and was disposed of. Har
riet Burner, the discharged convict,
who is wanted in Kansas on charge OF
having piled her vocation of a prOcuress,
was before the jury all the afternoon.
Speculation is rife as to the outcome of
this examination, as the charges against
Mr.. StOrdOck are of grave nature.
That gentleman was seen during the
afternoon in his Office at the
prison and said he did not feel in
the least concerned over the matter.
He had heard that the grand jury was
an exceptionally Intelligent one and he
did not believe that it could be made to
think he had been guilty of the charges
alleged by Mr.. Marsh. A little before
O'Clock the testimony of the Burner
woman was concluded and she departed
fOc st. Paul in charge of the deputy
sheriff. The jury will probably report
during the day. There will be no jury
trials until next week, as the petit jury
is not ordered to report until next Tues
day.
FUNERAL OF DIR. CARLI.
The funeral of the late ID. c. Carl
took place at the UniYerSaliSt church at
10 a. m. yesterday, and was attended by
a large number of the friends of the de-
ceased and his family, prominent among
whom were many of the old settlers of
this city and vicinity, many of whom
have been his personal friends
for forty years. The funeral dis
course was delivered by Rev. w.
H. II. Harrington, formerly of this city.
The speaker paid a glowing tribute to
the noble qualities of the deceased and
spoke of his many years of self-Sacrific-
ing devotion to the demands of his pro-
feSsiOn during the pioneer days, when
privatiOn and hardShipS were the lot of
the frontier physician. Of his tender
care of the sick and his noble generous
heart. In alluding to his atheiStic ideas
imbibed in his early life at Heidelberg,
he said DR.. Carli once said to him, Il
have diSsected hundreds of human sub
jects and have viewed their anatomy
carefully through my microscope, but |
have never seen the human soul" He
was constituted physically that he could
not believe that of which he had no
ocular proof, but he had never denied
the existence of a God and he main
tanned his sturdy character till the last.
His years of intense suffering and pain
had been borne heroically and he was
now at rest. The caSket was covered
word Father" being the most conSpic-
uOuS piece. Dr.. Garli's widow is now
the oldest white woman resident of Min
nesOta and will make her future home
with her son Joseph. Some two months
since, at his own request, DR.. Carli was
removed to the city hospital, where he
could have that care and attention rem
dered impossible at a private residence.
His family were in constant attendance
upon him there and all that could be
done for his ease and relief was pro-
Vided.
